Aaron Boone said Cole has checked many boxes after 86 pitches in Triple-A, and the Yankees are weighing a return to the rotation.

  • On Monday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team is weighing whether Cole will rejoin the major league rotation or make a seventh minor league rehab start.
  • Cole threw 86 pitches over 5.1 innings for triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against the Syracuse Mets on Saturday night, averaging 97 m.p.h. with his fastball and reaching 99.6 mph.
  • "He looks really good," Boone said, noting Cole has checked the necessary boxes after not pitching in a major league game since Game 5 of the World Series.
  • If activated, Cole would join a rotation featuring Carlos Rod, Cam Schlitter, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers, while the Yankees optioned Elmer Rodriguez to Scranton and selected Yovanny Cruz.
  • The team returns to New York following a 2-7 trip in which Max Fried was sidelined by a bone bruise in his left elbow.
